Awesome movie....but so unappreciated

Rating: 10/10 (3 April 2018)

I fail to understand why this film bombed in the American box office...oh wait that's right...because people prefer over-rated movies about people fighting crime in Halloween costumes. Well sorry Marvel, you have made some good movies, but as far as I'm concerned, this movie, and its sequel are worth my time more than your films ever will. Now I'm aware I'm being biased saying that on account I've loved monster-related movies since I was a child...but I really don't care. I feel bad though because I didn't know about this film's existence till maybe a month or two before it came to theaters (mostly because of my focus on finding out as much as I could about 2014's Godzilla reboot). Nonetheless, I went to it in theaters and I loved it. Awesome special effects, great fight scenes, characters that are more likeable than most kaiju films, and that soundtrack. Never a dull moment watching this film as far as I'm concerned. Will Pacific Rim ever crossover with Godzilla and Kong in the Monsterverse? I'd like to think so but I have my doubts. But hey, I loved the sequel Pacific Rim Uprising, and I know that movie's ending left it open for a sequel, so hey, why should I complain?
